As a guitar amp, with 12ax7's in the pre slots, it's loud as heck
As a bass amp, set up as I have it with 12au7's in the pre slots, it acceptable for small to medium jobs when paired with an efficient cab (like a schroder) and "responsible players," (read no guitar players with marshall stacks), and excellent for studio work.
It's a strong ~40 watts

I use an amp very much like this (mine's a '67) for my main gigging amp for small clubs in a relatively quiet band. It sounds like a million bucks with my Eden D210T cabinet. It's not loud enough for big gigs, I need to get something else for larger shows, but for smaller gigs the tone is incomparable.

The answer is "yes!"
It's got metal capped rubber isolator feet at all four corners. It also has left and right slide out clamps iwth slots milled in them that attach to thumbscrews on an appropriately vintage fender cab if you have one. They used this arrangement well into the 70's...I had a bassman 100 and 412 cab like this. If you're really gettin' after it, the sliders can rattle-you'll find many heads missing them cause folks took them off and lost them...One can just tape them, or put foam under them in the studio if run that hard, but taking it off the cab will solve that problem just as easy...

If anyone's wondering, you can get the mating hardware for the cabinet part through Fender with no problem, should you want to.

Bump for a cool amp. I've been restoring one for a buddy, and it'll run more than Alan's asking price when it's finished.

I have a '66 and it's a very cool if not very loud amp. I'm not settled on the correct speaker choice for it yet but it sounds amazing through a repro Bandmaster 2x12 loaded with Altec 417's. The 417's themselves are a little tired for bass. They scream for guitar though... So I think a 4 ohm 1x15 will be in the works soon.

Also potentially a DI that taps off after the pre & before the power section, which might make it the worlds heaviest/largest/mono F2B ...

Hi, im new here..I stumbled upon this thread while searching furiously for a bassman head. Though I am a guitar player, I just love the tone the bassman gives. Anyways, is it still available? and if so, do you have any pictures you could post or email to me? ( jesse@regulationblue.com ) because for some reason no pictures show up in this thread...??
thank you VERY much!! -Jesse
